Having 2 so nitrogen purging can happen. One to put nitrogen in, while one for oxygen to excape.

OCD track racers will have 99.5% N-2-O, where I will be running the regular 100% O-2.

Yes I still haven't got tyres on those rims yet. Kumho KU36s, Dunlop Direzza O3Gs or Toyo F-08s. Cannot decide which I wanna run on them.

Also have brought a brass 1/8 NT T piece for the oil pressure gauge that has been in the garage for months.

Camshafts turned up today. 5 days after paying. That is good for international shipping with a weekend in there!

Made decission to purchase new coilovers with stiffer springs. Looking at 7/5 or 8/5 combo. Current is 6/4 and great for street. But old ones were 7.5/5.2 and felt better cornering in motorsports.

I'll just go BCs again. But purchase them from JustJap. You just pay $100 extra and order what you want.

If you wanted to get then locally (not sure if they'd have them in stock though), boostn imports are the brisbane distributor of bc's

Would there be any difference in the shocks besides the difference between the V1's and golds? that would be interesting to know then can save on shock and strut assembly cost, I'd be up for going the stiffer springs as well.

I was told it was just a quality level. V1 are the old BR, typically speaking. The BR is supposed to have improved valving/bigger valve and better quality construction. Apart from that it's much the same as a V1. Depends if you can't afford that extra $100 or not, but I'd be going for BR, as I have then on my BG, and they kick ass.
